HELP!!! TURKEY HEN PROLAPSED??

[HennyPenny2019]

It is done. We Just left the emergency room. I was in the room with her when she went, was able to talk to her and Pet her and she looked me in the face until her heart stopped. They were so good with her, very sweet professional and understanding and sympathetic. They put her out easily and quickly, didn’t take her long to go. I’m so sad. I miss her so much but I’m relieved she’s not hurting anymore, she doesn’t have to suffer. She didn’t deserve that. She’s in a better place now and went easily with me beside her. They actually made me a little box with her little foot track imprinted in some sand to keep forever to remember her. I’ll take a pic of it when I’m home, got a 45 min drive. So sweet. I’ll always keep it. And they are going to have her cremated for me, I didn’t know they offered that but they said they could do a private cremation of her for me to keep her ashes forever, and I said of course. I will get her ashes back within 30 days. I know I did the right thing. But I miss her so badly.

I expect the whole list is crying with you, dear. I am so sorry that you’ve had to go through this with your beloved pet. You were her champion though through it all and gave her a loving end to her suffering. I for one am very proud of you.

No seeds. Just mix new ration with a bit of old if you have some to use up.

Yes I will mix the crumbles to use the rest of the turkey grower with the new good feed. I just pulled the TMC seed from her today just now. Tomorrow will be her first full day without. And I’ll take everyone else’s tomorrow too that has seed

They were so amazing so with her. Treated her the way I do, as a loved pet. Not livestock or standard use poultry. Meant a lot, plus I get her ashes back. To keep her always she’s being cremated. So amazing.

You have no idea how much that means to me. It means so so much and more. It’s so tough, she was not just a turkey. She was my baby, my pet. I loved her beyond words. I tried so hard to keep her here best I could and the second I saw that prolapse and realized I couldn’t, I realized I had to call every place I could and find someone who would help her go humanely and peacefully.. and that she very much so did. I was with her till the last breath. I still love her so much. I miss her. I’ve been non stop crying. It hurts to see her gone, and the memory of her prolapsed that severely will never leave my mind seeing her there like that.. thank you so much I did what was best for her. She deserved to go the best way.

She really was a lovely hen.

She was wasnt she..? A beautiful girl physically and a beautiful girl personality wise. Truly an amazing bird. My pet, my best friend

Thank so truly so much.. it really means more to me than I can say. This wouldn’t of been easy regardless, but the person who helps me get through all my struggles isn’t currently anywhere beside me and it makes it hard. Not to go off subject but my boyfriend of about 4 years is very hands on with these birds and he cared for them too.. and we’ve been doing distance for schooling for a bit and he actually returns back to Cali in just under 3 weeks.. every time I’ve lost someone he’s been amazing about it and so great. And it’s harder when he’s away. It’s rough. But you all are like therapy and it’s helping and is so sweet.
I’ll look at the Turkey grower and send a pic so you guys can tell me what you think and what feed I should pick up maybe from here on out beginning next week?

I really tried all that I knew I could and I still feel helpless now that I couldn’t save her or keep her here or do more.. the second i walked out to check her at night and saw her standing with that big mass popped out.. I started crying so hard and I started calling every place possible till I found the one an hour away that could humanely do this for her.. I knew then she was probably beyond repair and I couldn’t bare to keep her there dealing with it any longer.. even if it hurt me.

She will always be in my heart. And I hope with me. The most special thing is I get to have her ashes, I never thought they would want privately cremate a backyard poultry bird. But the fact that they will I think is so special.. what do you all think of the ashes? I think it’s purely amazing that I can keep her with me wherever I go.. after all she was always with me wherever I was at home. Always by my side

You did all you could do for her, and that was much more than many would do. You are a very good Turkey mom.

I tried very hard. In the end, I made sure her pain ended. Though I hated to see her go. It’s not the same without her, at all. Hurts to see her pen even. Thank you so so much.. I’d go through everything to make sure these guys are okay

I read your whole post and my heart breaks for you. You were very brave. I wish I could tell you that the pain of Peeps death will go away, but I believe while it will become bearable, she will always be in your heart and will color many parts of your life. You will be stronger for going through this.
